That seemed to leave customers who bought iPhones when they first launched in Canada just under a year ago to pay the no contract price – hundreds of dollars more than the contract-subsidized price if they wanted to get one of the new phones.

However as the iPhone 3G S was about to land on store shelves, Rogers and Fido announced that for a limited time, existing iPhone owners have some options to save paying the full no-contract price for the new model.

Rogers customers who have had their iPhones at least six months can receive $250 off the no-term,device-only price for a new iPhone 3G S, as long as they have a data plan and agree to extend their service agreement by one year.

iPhone 3G customers who got their phones between last year’s July 11 launch and September 30, 2008 and who have spent on average $100 or more a month on wireless services will get $500 off the no-term price for an iPhone 3G S.

For family plan accounts spending on average more than $100 a month in wireless services over that period, one line on the account can be upgraded at the special offer price.

With both offers, customers keep their old 3G phones.

It all adds up, for the iPhone 3G S 16GB/32GB to:

$199/$299: customers who bought their iPhone 3G between July 11 and Sept. 30 2008 and spend on average at least $100 a month on wireless services.

$449/$549: customers who have had an iPhone at least six month and agree to extend service agreement by one year

$699/$799: full no contract price

The iPhone 3G S went on sale with Rogers and Fido Friday. I tried one out and wrote about my first take on the new phone.

The new phone offers, along with a data plan of 6GB for $30 a month, available for all iPhone customers, are good only until July 31.
